Thanks for this, my late Father-in-Law was a stalwart of the Hertfordshire Home Guard (previously known as the Local Defence Volunteers or LDV (or Look, Duck and Vanish to the locals ) He had a fund of tales involving hollow trees, fake fenceposts and all sorts.

Excellent report Huey.

Not sure if you are aware of a report on here from a couple of years back that I think is the same type of bunker... OT visited. It's in Wilton (Wiltshire), link here

Brilliant, nice report and well researched! I noticed a lot of info from Coleshill website. Absolutely fascinating place.
I should point out though that SOE (Special Operations Executive) is not the same as Aux Units or AU Special Duties. A lot of the AU SDB was run by Royal Signals and ATS with a civilian spy networks and the AU was solely Civilians / Home Guard, both operating solely in the UK in the event of invasion. SOE where the spy networks that where dropped into enemy occupied europe. The likes of Eddie Chapman, Noor Inyat Khan and other notorious spies. They also did a lot of wort supporting and supplying the resistance. Part of SIS (Special Intelligence Service) now knwn as MI5.
